After school in South Africa Cooper went to Oxford and his Ph.D. was obtained for work on Fourier integrals, done under Titchmarsh's supervision. After lecturing in London he was appointed professor of mathematics in Cardiff in 1951. After moving to Toronto in 1965 he returned to England two years later.

His research is on a wide range of different but related topics: operator theory, transform theory, thermodynamics, functional analysis and differential equations.
